[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a the end game except to hurt poor and working class people? First, social security and Medicare aren’t “entitlements”, but regardless.

Are Republicans that committed to hurting people and why? They’re not committed to actual fiscal responsibility otherwise they’d never approve tax cuts for billionaires or thwart closing tax loopholes for the rich.

So again, what’s the endgame. [b]Many red state citizens would be devastated if social security goes away, not to mention Medicare[/b] (the one health system in the US that works relatively well).[/quote]

Maybe this is what needs to happen. Many red states state budget significantly come from the government as well. Time to cut that off if you want lower govt spending. [/quote]
+1 States that rely heavily on federal aid as a % of their state's total budget are mostly red states.

Rs favorite TX and FL  rely more on federal aid than CA.

McConnell and Rand Paul's state heavily rely on federal aid. I would love to see how they would fair without federal aid.
